Sunday, May 01, 2016 UCLA scientists use large particle accelerator to visualize properties of nanoscale electronic materials Shaun Mason | July 15, 2015 Courtesy of TRIUMF UCLA researchers used the cyclotron at the TRI University Meson Facility, or TRIUMF, in Vancouver, British Columbia.   A technique devised by UCLA researchers could help scientists better understand a tiny — but potentially important — component of next-generation electronic devices. Scientists trying to improve the semiconductors that power our electronic devices have focused on a technology called spintronics as one especially promising area of research. Unlike conventional devices that use electrons’ charge to create power, spintronic devices use electrons’ spin. The technology is already used in computer hard drives
